Smokey Mountain Memories Lyrics - David Archuleta

You oughta go north somebody told us 

Cause the air is filled with gold dust 

And fortune falls like snow flakes in your hands 

Now I don't recall who said it 

But we lived so long on credit 

So we headed out to find our promised land 

Just poor Smokey Mountain farm folk 

With nothing more than high hopes 

As we hitched our station wagon to a star 

But our dreams all fell in on us 

Cause there was no land of promise 

And this struggle keepin' sight of who you are

Oh and these northern nights are dreary 

And my southern heart is weary 

As I wonder how the old folks are back home 

But I know that they all love me 

And I know they're thinking of me 

Smokey Mountain memories keep me strong 

You know I've been thinkin' a whole lot lately 

'Bout what's been and what awaits me 

It takes all I've got to give what life demands 

You'll go insane if you give in to it 

Life's a mill and I've been through it 

I'm just thankful I'm creative with my hands 

Oh and these northern nights are dreary 

And my southern eyes are teary 

As I wonder how the old folks are back home 

But I'll keep leanin' on my Jesus 

Who loves and guides and lead us 

The Smokey Mountain memories keep me strong 

Photos 

I'll keep looking to the father 

Keep our head above the water 

Smoky Mountain memories 

Keep me strong
